Brandon Sanderson / Re: Favorite Character in Elantris
« on: October 23, 2006, 09:38:21 PM »
Gender Roles eh? Well, I hate to toot my own horn in my very first post, but on my blog (mythsmyth.livejournal.com) I wrote my very first book review ever about Elantris, in which I mentioned the gender roles portrayed by the characters. Especially Sarene.
Now, I loved Elantris, and my favourite character was BY FAR Hrathen, because I feel the most attached to him (I get sent to topple monarchies all the time). Hrathen was identifiable with me because of his spiritual issues and firm belief in something. Sarene I liked because she was the kick-ass female type, but she retained her femininity at the same time (hated her hair loss, cared about her dresses, felt that she needed to liberate her ignorant gender-mates etc.)
Oh yeah, and Galadon rocked, of course.
